Silent Moons Camp

Overview

Silent Moons Camp is a ruin located in Central Skyrim. This is a Bandit camp located on a straight line drawn from Whiterun to Morthal.

If you go up the stairs, you will find the lunar forge along with a workbench and two books titled "Notes on the Lunar Forge" and "Light Armour Forging." The Notes give only some clue as to how one would create a Lunar Weapon as well as the effects of said weapons. The book on Light Armour, however, will increase your smithing skill by one if you have yet to read it for the first time. You will also find some iron ingots lying around the forge.

Once you go into the entrance at the bottom of the stairs, you will find a fire with some sleeping bags around it. There are shelves and barrels with loot, and down a tunnel you will find some bandits. This camp is relatively small, and there are more bandits outside than inside. You will find a door that is adept locked, behind which there are lots of potions and a ladder to a room outside that is unreachable from the outside because there is a metal grate that you can lift by operating a chain switch. You will find some various mushrooms and flowers and some lunar weapons which do extra fire damage when it's nighttime.
